I finally got my TJ back up and running after replacing the engine but it looks like I have a bent drivers side rear axle shaft. The tire has a good wobble to it, but surprisingly it does not make the jeep shake or feel unstable. Hoping someone can confirm based on the attached video, if so...

I just got done installing a rebuilt 4.0 engine into my 98 w/AX-15. I filled it up w/break in oil, manually primed the oil pump, set the distributor timing and tried to start it. When I turned the key I could hear the oil pump start and the starter engage, but it would not turn the engine...

I am replacing my 4.0 after bending a valve/cracking the head & thinking I might as well replace the clutch while I have it all apart. I am getting the Luk 05-065 clutch kit but have read bad things about the included throw out bearing. What would be the correct upgrade for a throw out...

My 98 TJ will crank over fine but won't start. I know I read a thread posted by Chris a while back listing out the things to check for debugging and I have searched for it with no luck. Can someone direct me to this thread? My plan is to test for spark, fuel then compression and really hope...

I have a 98 4.0 with the AX-15 transmission & recently regeared to 4.88. Am I calculating my crawl ratio correctly at 51? (3.83 first gear x 2.72 transfer case x 4.88 gears)?

I recently had my TJ regeard to 4.88 and added a Spartan in the front Dana 30 and Detroit in the rear Dana 44. Finally got 500 miles on it and was changing the diff oil. From what I found the front Dana 30 should take 1.75 quarts & the rear Dana 44 should take 2 quarts. Between the two I was only able to use...

In the market for new gears, called revolution directly & saved almost $60 by asking if they had a forum or any other discount. It never hurts to ask!

I have a 98 TJ with Dana 30/44 3.73 gears and want to upgrade to revolution 4.88. Will I need to worry about a carrier break? I have 33 inch tires, 4.0, 5 speed and would rather error on the low side as far as gearing goes. Would one of the experts be so kind as to provide a link to the...

I need to replace the front passenger axle bearing & hub on my 98 TJ as the current one is worn out & clicking. Is the axle bearing & hub something that should be replaced on both passenger & driver side at the same time much like ball joints, or is it okay to only replace the passenger side?

In the past couple weeks I have replaced both front axle u joints and all 4 front ball joints. After a wheeling trip I had a strange sound anytime the jeep was moving it sounded alot like a rattle from the front passenger side. I noticed some movement in the u joint which is why I replaced...

When replacing my ball joints over the weekend I noticed that my passenger rotor had some serious grooves in it.... what better time to upgrade. My stock brakes were having a hard time keeping up with the 33 inch tires so I took the advise of many on this (and other) forums and ordered front...

I noticed some play in my passenger front U-Joint so I switched both front axle shaft u joints out this weekend with Spicer 5-760x . After doing so I get a squeak when moving forward unless I turn the steering wheel right. It sounds much like the noise you would hear when brake pads are worn...

I replaced my front passenger U-Joint this weekend hoping to resolve a clanking issue. The replacement was not too bad at all, I went the socket and BFH route. All seemed to go well, but the next morning I came outside to a small puddle of what I assume was diff oil under the tire. I am...

Will I need to upgrade the rear bumper/tire holder on my 98 TJ to mount a 33x12.5x15 tire? The tire weight is listed as 52lbs without the 15" steel wheel. I want to run a spare, but I don't want to damage the bumper/holder.

What is the link I can use when purchasing something on Amazon so this site sees some of the proceeds? I am about to pull the trigger on a winch & tires.... Winch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K150VAI/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Tires: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014HHU6RS/?tag=wranglerorg-20

My TJ is not a daily driver so it will often sit a month or more before being driven. When I took it out last month it drove and shifted fine, no issues at all. I got in it yesterday and it started right up per normal, but I could not shift into reverse. There is play in the shifter from side...

I replaced my dash lights with led's and they look great, much brighter and nice color. I tried to use the same base/led to replace the two HVAC lights but the led was too large to fit in the base. I tried wedging it as hard as I could... and ended up getting it stuck in the unit. I had to...

I am looking for a winch and found someone selling a Warn Zeon 12-S for a good price. Per the ad it’s only been used a couple times, but when looking at it what should I inspect and how should I test it to ensure it is worth buying?

I am looking for an app to use while offroading, ideally it would allow me to download a topo map and then use GPS to show where I am, where I have been, allow me to mark obstacles etc... Any suggestions on what others have used?
